guess what? i’m finally posting! surprise! this will be my last post before closing my blog so if you want to continue to read, comment here or shoot me an email at thestardustsunrise@gmail.com (thanks to you who already have!). but i’m here! i’ve arrived! goodness this past week has been a whirlwind! getting here was quite the challenge. delayed flights, almost missed connections, lost baggage. sounds like a “worst case scenario while flying” list but i made it and i’m loving it here! it is beyond beautiful in nice. that’s probably why its called ‘nice’. ha. i’ve been exploring the city lately which is a huge deal because i usually hate going anywhere alone but it’s been good to see the places i want to go and to get some very important things done. like buying yoga mats and reading for hours in coffee shops and discovering how to order soy lattes in french. see? obviously really important things. but i have been picking up the language more and more and living with a woman who speaks hardly any english is definitely helping. i’m SO excited to start language classes and get on an actual schedule. while meandering the city is nice, everything is better when you do it with purpose. i’ve been scoping out coffee shops to do homework at and stationary stores to get school supplies at (though i’ve yet to find one like kikki k.) and i have quite a few things planned for the weekend. above are some of the things i’ve been seeing and experiencing lately. is it pretty here or what? i know i already said that but its worth saying again. if you want to follow my adventures, follow me on instagram at indiansummer6. i changed my instagram because i was hardly using the other (its a wonder why i ever had two to begin with) and wanted a more private space to post. so au revior for now and i’ll be sure to update here on a more regular basis. pinky promise.

i’m moving to france!

i’m so excited to finally share on my blog where i am spending my next year. i’m moving to nice, france for a year to study french and serve at a local church! living in france has always been a dream of mine and when i went to france a few years back, nice was one of my favorite places i visited. i’ll be leaving at the end of september so i still have a bit of time here for which i am very grateful but i’m also so excited for this adventure to start.
